Light wind, heavy clouds, and dense haze from high humidity hampered photography last night (16Oct13) from the top of Table Rock (east rim of Linville Gorge). Numerous hunters were encountered on the access roads and in the parking lot, while 11 campers were found at the summit itself. Lights from both groups probably could be seen from some of the other popular observation sites; thus anyone out looking for BMLs should be aware of the possibility of the increased present of back-country users at this time of the year.
